[Lyric] Pearls (Big Heaven)

[Verse 1]
I live on a string
My life is a pretty strand of pearls about to break
It's loosening
The knot that's been holding everything in place
I don't think I can tie it back again

[Refrain]
Doesn't matter how much they cost
Maybe it was time for them to break
Sometimes when you pay too much
You have to take a loss
So I'll tear them off and sweep them out the door

[Verse 2]
What color should I paint this space
To conceal the evidence of my disgrace?
Rose quartz or serenity?
I wish I had some inside me
Instead, I'm drowning in a sea of cold swеat and anxiety
[Verse 3]
You can try to paint over the truth
But thе patina of despair has a way of shining through
I know that we paid too much
But there's nothing left to do
Except to strike a match and burn it to the ground

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Doesn't matter how much they cost
Maybe it was time for them to break
Sometimes when you pay too much
You have to take a loss
So I'll tear them off and sweep them out the door
